Johor: Durian and Seafood Ride...

"They said people come and go. But the truth is, no one really disappears from your life..."

(A group photo with En. Atan, the caretaker of the kebun)

We went out earlier and stopped at NLTJ warong in Desa Petaling to have nasi lemak breakfast and to meet face-to-face with En. Aziz Mat, the owner of the warong and an fb friend of mine. The specialty of NLTJ is nasi lemak and ayam perap goreng.

We met up with the rest of our bikers gang at Seremban R&R at 10 am and started riding on the North-South highway towards Pontian.

(And the pretty ladies...)

First stop: Kebun buah, Benut, Johor

When we reached the caretaker's house, we were served with nasi briani and cold drinks. After solat, we feasted on varieties of durian, manggis and rambutan, followed by air kelapa muda. We felt at home and were very grateful for the hospitality and friendliness of the caretaker and family.

Second stop: Limastiga Resort, Umbai Melaka

Limastiga Homestay is a cosy resort situated in Bukit Tembakau Umbai, Melaka away from the busy hustle bustle of the city. The resort has many rooms with modern facilities and 2 swimming pools. It is a place suitable for family holiday or friends reunion. We were there for a short rest and were served with Mango juice and keropok goreng and had the opportunity to meet with the owner of the resort and his wife.

Third stop: Muara Sungai Duyung, Melaka

Our last stop was at one of the seafood restaurants at Muara Sg Duyung for a sumptuous seafood dinner. Although we were quite full, we managed to clean up the ikan bakar, butter and spicy prawns and sambal sotong.

It was nearly 9.30 pm when we started riding back to KL.

(Many more dishes to be served...)

(Too full to ride back...)
